General Education Paths
At CSUN we offer you the possibility to make the most out of your General Education experience. Students enrolled in the GE Paths program explore a special theme or major question from an interdisciplinary perspective in the context of their general education requirements. You choose one of the different paths offered in the program based on your personal and intellectual interests.
How it Works
You select one theme (Path) and take six courses (18 units) associated with it as part of your GE coursework.
Although you are encouraged to remain within one path, you can sample across the different paths.
You can opt in and out, there is no obligation to continue or finish the path. The program is open to all students regardless of GPA.
Free free to email the Faculty Program Director for more information.
Paths
Health and Wellness
The Health and Wellness path provides students with opportunities to explore personal and community health and wellness during various stages in the family life cycle.
Arts, Media, and Society
The Arts, Media and Society path recognizes the continuing centrality of the traditional arts in encapsulating the values, beliefs, and myths of human cultures.
Aesthetics and Culture
The goal of the Aesthetics, Culture, and Media path is to empower students to think, read, and write critically and creatively about the transformative power of aesthetics in a diverse range of visual, written, and oral forms.

Social Justice
The primary goal of the Social Justice path is to encourage students to think critically about social justice, to recognize it as foundational for peaceful societies, and to look for ways to promote it.
Global Studies
The Global Studies path provides students an opportunity to explore how global and transnational processes bring people together across the globe.
Principles of Sustainability
The Sustainability path provides students an opportunity to explore sustainability issues.
Program Benefits
Besides gaining the skills that all students acquire during their GE coursework, through the path you will examine one theme in more depth and from many different perspectives. Furthermore, you will work very closely with faculty specialized in the theme and other students with shared interests.
